Strogest opening

Strogest opening for white and black?
Pawn to d4 as white. Black pawn to d5. There you go strongest opening ever
After playing a stroggy opening, it is necessary to clean up with a chess towel.
The ones u prepare for the best..
That said starting with black:
d4:: QGD, Slav/Semi-Slav, Nimzo/QID, Grunfeld, then maybe KID, Benko, Benoni, and Dutch. Budapest and Albin are OK as surprise backup openings below 1600.

e4:: Sicilian is king for a reason but below 1400 maybe start with Kan or Kalashnikov or Accelerated Dragon. If brand new or young maybe start with Caro Kann or French. Later in journey Alekhine and Nimzowitsch are nice surprise weapons. Philidor and Pirc are for people who hate winning. Petrov very solid. So many traps in Italian so much theory in Spanish just learn Petrov if you must play e5.

White?? e4 if you love chaos. London if you are a psychopath that likes making people suffer in boredom. d4, c4 (QG/Indian Game) or English if you want to be a patient positional genius. Add Nimzo-Larsen (1.b3) a year later. Then Catalan in 2yrs. Then look at some of Kramnik's old Queen's Pawn set ups. The guy doesn't get enough credit.
1. e4, c5 is the strongest opening for both white & black. (The King's pawn opening for white and the Sicilian defence for black).

Obviously, the strongest opening is the opening that every strong player plays (why would they choose a weaker one?). Wait, you say even the strongest grandmasters play many different openings? Can't imagine why...
@Bbao23 said in #6:
> In chess, there isn't a single strongest opening move as each has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on one's playing style and strategy preferences.
> I don't think so, imagine your opponent play London system and u play bongcloud opening
